Pesticide Management
Pittsford Schools Manage Pesticide Use
Pittsford School District recognizes what many health organizations warn about the use of chemical pesticides, particularly in areas near children. The district’s environmental effort addresses these concerns by eliminating the use of pesticides and using natural organic methods. |
Notification of Pesticide Use All public and non-public schools are required to inform parents, faculties, and staff of a New York State Education law regarding notification of pesticide use in school buildings and on school grounds during the school year. There are three communication requirements under this law. 1. Notification each fall providing information on the law and its requirements. Currently, Pittsford Central Schools does not regularly apply pesticides at any of its buildings or building sites. Prevention practices have been the preferred method of control. Any pesticide applications that my be made will be in response to a particular need at a building and would be applied by a certified pesticide control technician. |
